1 Month Update - Its important to take this easy!
Its been a month since my last post, and I'm happy to say that things are firmly on the up! I've been slacking a bit with social media recently, but I'm posting here again to hold myself more accountable. Excluding the past few days, the month has been totally clean 😄
I made an effort to demystify the way I think of porn by shifting my conception of it from a malevolent, almost demonic force actively weighing me down to a poor dopamine-fuelled lifestyle decision, similar to eating fast food or doom scrolling. I'm not ignorant to its negative long term effects, but I've found that removing the veil of shame and power it holds over my mind made a big difference in switching up my habits so far. Cravings tend to lose a lot of their intensity when framed this way as well.
Our lives are not defined by porn, and our value remains constant as we fight through this unfortunate issue.
Here's to a positive future!
